The Temple of our Inner Voice


Always aiming to do things not done before, explore places never been explored before and trying to touch planes and realms of the inner world never visited before, we would like to share with you our very own place. The Temple of our Inner Voice.

After our recitation of shlokas and the calling of our guides, we decided to take a journey and go into our Temple of the Inner Voice for the very first time. Deep in meditation our mentor took us to explore and be there on two occasions especially. Each one of us experienced the feel, the visuals, the smell of the temple which was rightly ours and only ours. We describe our temple and the experiences in it.

Vani: “The last time I had seen us seated in a temple so we enlarged on that picture. Everyone saw a beautiful temple, all different, all individual. I saw the series of carved stone pillars again, and we seemed to be sitting around a havan kund, with flowers everywhere and lit diyas all around us. My guide said, this is the group place, the group temple, we should all visit often.
We did a second meditation returning to the Temple of the Inner Voice. The energy shot up at once, amazingly quickly and the Temple was immediately clear. I was so absorbed in the energy and the experience of the Temple that I just lost myself in it.”

Manijeh
‘This is your own temple. Sacred for you. See even the minutest of detail of beauty all around you.’ This is the message that Manijeh received at the beginning whilst in meditation. “I saw not only Goddess Saraswati but even other gods waiting there to bless me. This as to make me aware of presences around me that I might have been missing to feel or see before. I saw a havan kund in the centre lighted with sandal wood and a particular priest tending to the fire to keep it going. I took blessings from him.

The second time, when we visited the temple, I could see pink and golden, white, light blue with green, gold and silver lights around as energy with the a lovely smell of sandalwood emitting from the fire. I was told to just sit back and enjoy this beautiful energy that I was receiving.”

Khushmin: “I am in a beautiful temple with pillars all around. There are clear crystal formations as lights and Saraswati Devi is there all in white. She starts moving fast and Vani holds her hand and tells her to quickly follow as it is difficult to keep pace with her. We reach to the edge of a high slope and down we can see a huge valley. There is a very big golden figure and preaching to all. They are energy people and we cannot hear anything. The next moment we slipped down and landed in the middle of the temple where there was a lot of noise and all were talking loudly. I came back with a start.

The second time when we visited our temple, I saw us doing a Havan. The flames were brilliant golden orange red, bells were sounding all around, the smell of incense sticks and dhoop was thick in the air and best above all was the sound of chanting all around. Then I saw this 5 pointed Silver Star descending from the heavens and inside I could see Lord Shiva, Ma Parvati and Lord Ganesha seated showering blessings on all of us. The message I got from them was to continue the good work, they were there for her always, and not to fear and have faith in ourselves."

Gayatri
“A Very beautiful temple. I saw Kwan Yin – huge and in white. Lots of lovely delicate flowers – pink and purple. Even our meditation mats were made of flowers. I connected with my guides and to a new soul.”

Veena
“I was totally absorbed with the energies surrounding the idol of Lord Shiva in our temple. I was adviced to do a group chanting of Maha Mrityunjay Japa.”

Ragini
“When we went into our spiritual temple, sparkling lights lit up all around us. Our guides were standing all behind us, communicating with us. I saw, Goddess Lalita Devi in padmasan sitting on a white lotus, in front of me. She was wearing a pink sari with a gold border. Diyas were lit up on ratnadeep and were all around us. My guide was behind me with both hands on my shoulders telling me, This is your temple. You can come here anytime. Take a shower of white light or come here. Or come here & take a shower of golden light, since that is what you get instead of white light. At night, just come here & sit for a few minutes as you don’t get the time to meditate. You can even sit here & do your mantra.’ On thanking her guide, she was told that they were always there for her.

“The second time when we started visiting our spiritual temple, the room turned into the temple & I got Ma Laxmi sitting in the middle in a white & pink sari with a gold border, on a pink & white lotus, with sparkling diyas lit all around her. All of us were sitting in a circle around her. I saw a priest to the left of the Goddess with a hawan kund (inverted pyramid vessel used for offerings during prayer) in front of the Goddess. The pandit was offering ghee (clarified butter) with his left hand & chanting some mantras (vedic hymns).” The only message she got, was to concentrate. Just concentrate & all would be fine. “I was in full concentration. We once again thanked our guides & my guide was with me on my left with his arm round me & hand on my right shoulder telling me that they were always there for me.”

Niranjan
“The moment we started our meditation, the room spun in a half-turn and became a temple . There were two circles of us sitting around a fire. I saw the making of feelings. Flashes of many current fears problemss of mine, just going away. The last memory I have is of a huge crackling fire. I then got lost”

Tara
“ The moment I went in to the temple, I saw that it was made of black stone. Ancient, old and years old. There were rows of old stone pillars and at the sides could see deities lilek Lord Shiva, Ganesha and the rest. Before was the fire in the havan kund and there stood the main idol of Goddess Kali. Huge and black except for her red tongue. Next to her on one side was Goddess Saraswati and Goddess and Goddess Lakshmi on the other side. Each deity shone in her finery and resplendent beauty. The feelings I experienced were of awe and sheer power. I saw all of us seated around the fire and my guide in the form of a priest sitting next to me.

Suddenly I felt myself rising higher and higher. I looked down to my guide asking me what was happening and where was I going. He told me to go ahead and come back. The next thing I felt was floating in space. I felt I was air-borne and moving around. I passed huge orbs what looked or seemed to be as planets and even saw an asteroid belt. For one moment I then froze. It felt like Time had stopped and there I lay frozen in time. Silence. Sheer silence is what I felt all around, but a great feeling of peace and tranquility. I then felt myself coming back and soon found myself sitting back next to my guide. It seemed that was to give me a ‘high’ as per my guide.

My guide proceeded to ask me what was it that I wanted to ask and that I could ask him anything I wanted to. I spoke to him about my desire to increase my psychic abilities, have good health and be spiritually inclined further. He spoke to me about the same and soon I thanked him. I then went up to the idol of The Goddess Kali and bowed down to her and the rest thanking her giving me the ability to feel blessed. When I went and stood close to her, I felt kumkum fall on my forehead and on my hand. I felt truly blessed and thanked her and the rest of the deities and came out of the temple”.

Bhavisha
“After connecting with our guide, we started the meditation and entered the Temple of the Inner Voice . It was a beautiful temple with carved pillars all around, bells ringing, yagna fire in the center, chanting of mantras being clearly heard and the fragrances of flowers & incense in the air, I got a message from within saying, ‘A lot of people are leaning on you at both levels-mental & emotional, so give them the support they need. Spiritually you’re growing steadily; only keep helping people with your strength as it will clear your karmas. Also you are living in a very unconventional non-ritualistic way which is resented by most people on the spiritual path, but do not worry. Everyone will follow your principle eventually.’

“When I finished meditation, I found myself in a very different state of mind. I had no doubts about the way I thought or behaved. My self-confidence is boosted. In the end I was trembling with joy & I felt tremendous sense of peace within me. I heartily thank my spiritual guide.”

Vir
“I could see myself in the energy fields of the Temple- The Derassar at Sankheshwar – Parshwnath, Gujrat, India. All sides had energy pillars. I can see divine tirthankars through rows of pillars, The yagna fire between us and tirthankar - Parshwanath Prabhu there. My guide informed me that my process to be with the divine is already on, but more needs to be done to get rid of impurities of karmic weights. The moment I will be free from karmic weight, I will be with the divine. Then I felt a very strong pull towards the yagna fire and felt its divine energy in full force.

The second time when we visited our temple, I found myself again in the same temple with the same yagna fire before and the mantra chanting going on. The message I then got from my guide was to always do better for everyone. That was going to train me to be more developed and purified, to be with ultimate power of nature-Almighty, ultimately.

The atmosphere in the temple was very powerful and charged with high energy. Feelings of happiness radiated around and within me. Just like at the time of an Utsav.


Each one of us have different experiences though we all were led into the same temple. Each one has been blessed with the images and visuals that they relate to best. The common factor in all has been the force and sheer power of the deities. A connection has been installed on another level, far more spirutal and thus superior then the one doe on this mere plane. We each are blessed to now be able to go there whenever we want to and do what we would like to once we are there.

If one was to ask me whether channeling has made a difference to me in my personal life, I would reply in the affirmative. It has changed me on many different levels in myself. A sense of calmness and a sense of serenity has come over me which I lacked before. My meditations have grown stronger,my visualizations have risen to a great extent.Most important, I am constantly connected to my guide.Unknowningly, the power of intent within me has grown stronger and still does not cease to surprise me.If I truly want something, it comes and falls in my lap.

It was only a month back that I installed a new software on my computer and was excited about it. However, not having an idea of how to use it, I was searching for some tutorials to get started.I spoke to no one about it.The next day I went to work and my place was changed that afternoon. I set about cleaning the new place up and set up my computer. There was loads of junk I threw out, and finally when I opened the last cupboard, i found a book on the software I was searching for! It was just there. I needed no help from anybody.Nobody had used the book. It was just lying there amongst all the junk. Nobody even knew that the book was there. I use the book and am learning on my own now.

Once you connect to the inner world and to them, manifestations are easy to achieve and bring into reality. And whenever the going gets tough externally, it's the inner strength that will give you the gut and gumption to go on even in the face of adversities. Reach out to them once and see how they grasp your hand.
All it needs is belief, belief and belief.

We are sure that this must be sounding familiar to many of you.We welcome you to share your experiences, ideas, thoughts, comments or anything that you wish to let us know. We would love to hear from all of you. We share and we care.
Mail us at voiceofsaraswati@gmail.com. We will get back to you.

"I am as close to you as the wind that brushes your cheek .You just need to be aware of me being there"

We got chosen by our books!


We eagerly met for the very first time and connected very briefly to our guides. After the first session itself we were told by Vani,our 'guide'to get a book to record all the messages, visuals and any other knowledge that we received.We were also told to paste a sacred picture of our choice on the cover of the book.This task so simple and small in itself had such interesting incidents to narrate and reflect back on.Here's what we experienced:

For Vani,it was a lovely mauve notebook with floating flowers on the cover.The picture that she got was one of the goddess Saraswati,Durga from the Durga prayers and Lalita from the Lalita sahasranaam books that she had distributed to all in the group.The message which she received was the Saraswati mantra, aim and the Om saraswatyai namah.So that was a powerful start in itself.
Manijeh:Looked around for a while and then was attracted to a light purple cover with some waves in yellow and green that appealed to her.Her guides told her what to write on the first page and she believes that we have started the voyages through our own resources.
Khushmin had this lovely book with a photo of goddess Lakshmi on it which somehow she could
not use no matter how many times she attempted to do so.She came to realise that it was meant for a special purpose. However, when a book had to be brought, she at once thought of this book and connected to it.She felt this was the moment she was waiting for.She had not yet thought about the photo but when Vani distributed the photos in class, she felt this was the best thing she could paste on the cover.As a habit she has placed an Om and a swastik on the sides as she connects to both as universal blessings and has a Trishul on the last page for protection.
Gayatri's book literally walked upto her.The cover of her book has the image of a palm and a title which reads 'secrets from your hands.'She had picked up the same book at a bookstore
and kept it back since she not was not too sure about it and hoped to pick up something better later.She then asked a friend to get her a book from another store and lo and behold the same book not only from another bookstore but from a completely different locality landed in her lap.The connection with the book was already made the very first time, only Gayatri had to recognise it.She put an Om and a sign ( star like ) in a square.
When Veena picked up the book,it was the sun, moon and stars on the cover that attracted her
to the book.She likes Working with energy received from the cosmos. It has always interested
her and so she felt some connection with those forms.She got a message to write Om on the
first page and then a mantra of her ishtadevata which would stand for a symbol of protection
that appealed to her.
Ragini another member of our group, had already got a message from her guides before our
sessions had even commenced that she was going to do auto writing & she told them that she
would not be doing it alone.The book had been presented to her when she had gone to
Vaishnodevi some time ago for a pilgrimage.The book that chose her,has a picture of Lord
Ram, his wife Goddess Sita & his brother Laxman, in a scene from the Ramayan,in which
Goddess Sita points out to Lord Ram the golden deer she wants him to get for her. The beauty
of the cover & all the articles in the book of the leaders of all the religions of the world, made her keep the book for something special.2 days prior to the commencement of our sessions the book came into her hands once again making her wonder what would she be using it for. Little did she know that that had already been decided.She put the Trishul on all 4 sides of the book as a protection symbol.By the message that she got, she has putan Om on both sides with ‘‘ JAI MATA DI’’ written in the middle of the Oms. She pasted Goddess Saraswati, the Goddess of learning on the front page of her book.She also keeps her favourite picture of Lord Shiva, Goddess Parvati & Lord Ganesh.
Niranjan had no clue of the book that he was going to buy. He landed in a shop that he had never visited before and straight went to a bookshelf. He saw the book and picked up two.The hard cover of the book is handmade and has embossed motifs on it.The one with the white cover,has been kept for himself as it symbolises peace for him. The pink one he chose for Tara which symbolises love.He had not decided on the sticker for the cover when Vani gave him the sticker.That was promptly stuck on the cover. He got another Saraswati sticker from Vani which has been stuck on the back page.He has come to realise that more such photos now keep coming which he places inside the book.He has a large om on the front cover symbolising a beginning and the bottom right hand corner swastik makes it more complete.He felt the need to write his name and the date as well.
Tara wanted a hand made paper book but was just not having the time to go and get one for
herself.However, unasked the book came to her with the kind of colour she would have liked
and with it's hand- made cover.Simple in itself.She had forgotten to get the sticker but guess the place was reserved for Vani's sticker.So Goddess Saraswati on the lotus and another tiny one are on the cover of her book.A tiny sarswati mantra sticker is stuck on top as well. She got another laminated sticker from Manijeh that she has placed on the first page of her book.She got the message to write first two words of a prayer and that's exactly what she has written.
Bhavisha had already been using a book to write points from 'The Book of Secrets'by Osho.She
felt the need to continue writing in the same book and she continues to do so.She felt that a diya had to be drawn on the first page and so that's where her diya is.

All of us have our own role to play and all of us have something to impart.You will find the first messages that we received for ourselves,others in the group and for the universe in general in our next post. Yes we believe in starting with ourselves. If we are fine, then eveything can be fine. Work begins at home you see.

This is how we started

'Que sera sera, whatever will be will be, the future's not ours to see, que sera sera'.These famous lines of an old song from an Alfred Hitchcock movie have been repeated innumerably and there are millions who swear by them.Well, away from the madding crowd so to say a group of people think differently. With the main protagonist in this story and 'real life' being a veteran in the field of mysticim, magic, spirituality and divination and having embraced a plethora of methods,mantras and magic, we have embraked on a journey into the world of mysticism, channeling and sprits.Under the wing of our guides clutch of us eager, enthusiastic and having some hold in the spiritual field are 'guided' to connect to our inner and higher selves, meet them, connect to them and ofcourse receive messages from many others as well.
That's how we found ourselves sitting for the very first time with an air of hushed expectancy. Can still remember the expressions on each one's face as we took our first step.The session turned out to be quite enthralling. It was our first experience of it's kind. Messages from our guides commenced. Ranging from messages for self, each other and the universe at large we have now opened an important gateway to exploring the higher world.We would like to share this invisible, intangible wealth of knowledge and welcome all to read and partake what suits you best.
As our own guides say, Absorb and Enjoy!
